Rampell’s right. Trump gets away w/ lies b/c expectations are so low. He & GOP keep hammering “great economy”—tho only 2% growth—knowing media won’t call them on it. I’d add: Propagandists know media does balance to a fault—media elevate any good news to balance all the very bad.
Yes! Garry @Kasparov63 says it: We’re used to hearing from both sides—Republicans & Democrats, conservatives & liberals. Today it’s simply truth vs. lies. #Media must focus only on facts & STOP GIVING EQUAL TIME TO LIES. The outdated sense of balance is killing our democracy.
@Kasparov63 @crampell @brianstelter @ReliableSources @secupp Republicans exploit media's model of objectivity, which balances w/ equal time to both sides. Balance works when both sides deal in good faith w/ facts. LIES & propaganda are BAD faith! Airing both doesn't balance but elevate lies to level of facts & spreads #propaganda further⚠️
@Kasparov63 @crampell @brianstelter @ReliableSources @secupp Heed Kasparov's warning. Media undermine democracy by continuing to treat lies as facts. Too many Americans are already enthralled if not brainwashed by intense Trump/GOP #propaganda on FoxNews. @CNN etc must STOP balancing truth w/ disinformation & lies. There's only 1 side now!
